Best Businesses in Austin, TX

Barry is as good as small business owners come.  We had a good experience overall having fitting room lights and a switch installed, but an issue with the billing after the fact.  Barry took our concerns very seriously, did an investigation on his end, and made it right.  I highly recommend Barry and the team at Beckett!

Amazing company, always shows up when they say they will. Guys are funny and explain everything very well. I would highly recommend this company

Rick Spicer has been our hvac man for 22 years.  22 years ago he replaced our entire hvac system, both the upstairs and the downstairs.  He helped us select which one to buy, and he knew what he was doing.  It was a job that several other hvac contractors would not take because they said installation was too difficult. Rick Spicer just came in an got it done.  We rarely had any problems with it, but when we did we would call him and if it was either hot or cold, he was always there to fix it either the day we called or the next day.  He is honest, and he is very competent.  He won't try to sell you a part or a repair that you don't need, and he will patiently explain in words that you can understand exactly what he fixed and how he fixed it, and if it is something you can do he will show you how to do it for the next time if it happens again.  Most of the time the repairs were fast.  On the few times that they were more significant, he had it fixed by the day after we called.  We have never had to go more than one day without our hvac working on days that we needed them.  We sold that home and moved to a new one 15 years later, never having had an expensive repair, because he selected the right system and always fixed problems before they got out of hand.  He has provided service for the house we moved to for 7 years now, and even though he did not install the system, he is always comes over either the day we call or the next day when we need him to and he always knows exactly how to fix it.  During the Big Freeze of February 2021 one of our water lines burst above in the downstairs ceiling.  I called him and he told us how to stop it, without turning off the water to our entire house.  He was out the next day and repaired the pipe, fast, so he could get to the hundred other customers that were frantically calling him as fast as he could.  And the repair worked.  Our upstairs ac stopped working yesterday afternoon when it 100+ outside, and he came over today and fixed it, and showed me how to fix the problem if it ever happens again.  When the time comes to replace our hvac, he will definitely be the one to do it.  We will buy whatever system he recommends, because he knows which are the best, most reliable and long lasting systems.  I can not recommend Rick highly enough: you will never be sorry you called him.  There is a reason he gets so many 5 star reviews.  The name of his company is Spicer Mechanical, and his number is 512-913-4907.

Jimmy was a life saver!  Came out same day and saved me from worries of a wooden house and  a faulty switch!

Aurelio is great.  He texted me the evening before to confirm our appointment, he showed up when he said he would, he looked at and understood the job, he gave a fair quote and then did a great job replacing about 18 switches with smart switches for us.  I'll definitely be using Aurelio for our electrical needs in the future.

Absolute Electric will figure out your electric troubles, and explain it in a way that we can understand. They do more than just hang a ceiling fan. They make sure it's right and safe. How come that light won't come on? Call them - They'll figure it out!

Scott has been amazing at helping me get my home generator up and running. Would definitely hire him again in the future.

They showed up punctualy and quickly diagnosed the problem with my Service Panel Box. Laid new wire and rewired wall box and no more breakers tripping. Definitely a professional crew.

Allied Electric Services prioritizes people over profits.  Great group of professionals from the front office to the technicians.  You will not regret your decision to do business with this team.

It's been almost 5 years since they did a small job for me and I am still angry every time I see the thoughtless work they did. And I'm a neighbor for heaven's sake! I still have a light switch that is still not completely flush to the wall and the box is probably a little too big, but they didn't bother to get one that fit. Argh! Also, they installed a switch for me from the garage and just left everything in shambles and refused to come and at least put back what they had torn down or neaten up anything. No attention to detail. And just plain surly. Boo on them.

In a word - FANTASTIC! The owner takes the time to respond to calls and actually listens to you describe your problem (None of the other electrician companies did). The service was exactly what I wanted. The technician was prompt, polite, and professional (ex-military person too). Cost was extremely reasonable and explained before and after the service. Did not waste my time and got right to servicing my issue and said he was always available if the situation would return or a similar problem. I had used other providers in the past, but, from now on, my sole provider for any electrical problems or issues will be ON ELECTRIC without any hesitation. By far, the best that San Antonio has to offer!

Bob and his company did a great job installing our back porch outlets, fans and TV's a few years ago. I have recommended him and his company to many people. They do good quality work at a good value.

Just had excellent experience with this company. Team was efficient, detail oriented, and thoughtful about the projects that weren't super straightforward. They arrived on time as well. I had 2 chandeliers installed, 1 chandelier moved and 1 sconce installed in future kids room. I will use them in the future.

These electricians were timely, completed work quickly and skillfully, and were incredibly polite.  They listened, came up with smart solutions and I give 5 stars with no hesitation.

Very quick to respond and easy to work with. Honest work at a very good price. Will use again.

A friend of mine recommended the owner Steven Fikes to me so I went in and asked for him specifically for some work I have been looking into getting done. I was told by a colleague that he was out on a sick day so I thanked him and left.

Later that morning I'm notified by a family member that he had posted a video in a Facebook group in our community from his security footage of me walking back to my car in the parking lot, stating that someone sent their pregnant wife in regards to her husband doing illegal work and slandered me in the comments. As I am an 8 month pregnant wife, I have no idea what that was in regards to and believe he has me confused with someone/something else.

Either way, this is by far the most unprofessional thing I have ever encountered and I am still in disablief how something so insignificant got recorded and put on social media. If I could give zero stars I would. I'm confused and embarrassed to say the least.

If this is any indication of how this man conducts business, I would steer clear and far from this establishment.

Bryan & Art are true professionals.
After installing a circuit for us in a new location over our buffet, our microwave stopped working. I contacted them. And they came out first opportunity early in the day. The cause was the receptacle on the wall had a wire that was marginally connected. So in time with current heat, causing expansion and contraction of the wire it loosened. They reconnected the wires onto the screw connectors.  They diagnosed the problem and were in an out in less than 30 minutes. AND, when they say they will be here at a certain time, they are. I highly recommend you do business with Brian and Art of Fusion Electric.

Unfortunately we did not have a good experience with this company.  I first reached out to Dunman electric on 4/26.  We were able to get them scheduled for an inspection on 5/3.  The inspection was $225, and following this, our understanding was that they would provide an estimate for how much it would cost to complete our electrical repair - which was part of a large remodel.  Rather than a list of needed repairs and estimated costs for labor and materials to complete them, this is (verbatim) what they gave us:

Performed inspection of basement.  Found several things that are not to code.  Man had done a lot of things out of code.  The only way Dunman electric will do this work is for Dunman electric to come in and treat it as if it were a new rough in and trim out.  Any work that was performed by the customer will need to be removed and new put in.  This is the only way we can feel confident to put on licence on this job.  All framing will have to be up.  Based on this information alone, they were going to charge us over $6,000 to do the work.

Of note, they quoted us this $6,000+ price after the inspector that came out to the property verbally quoted us that the job would cost roughly $3600.  We called and emailed over the month of May and into June, with the request to revise the quote to include a breakdown of costs for labor, materials, permit transfers, etc.  They did not revise the document; at one point they said they would look into it, and then did not get back to us.  I finally followed up by email.  When they still did not respond, I waited a week and emailed again, this time requesting a refund for the inspection and stating that unfortunately I would need to write a negative review.  Then, they wrote back, to refuse the refund of the inspection cost and tell me they had replied many times to my request.  Unfortunately, this was not consistent with my experience, and truthfully their reply felt defensive in tone.

I can't speak to the quality of their work because we chose not to move forward with this company, but we would have appreciated improved clarity in communication on the front end.

A/C went out last night and we called them and we had an appointment window of 2 pm til 6pm.  They called me at 5:30pm and said they were running late. Then at 7pm they called and said they would not be out today. I am very mad. They said between 8am and noon tomorrow. No compassion on there part. We even have a contact with them for maintenance.
